Since I'm on my way to Indianapolis to spend five days at the NFL scouting combine, I thought it would be a good time to check what the mocksters are thinking about the AFC East.

This will be the last round of projections before the players get jabbed with sticks, scouts fall in love with sleepers, a blue-chipper or two slips and everybody begins to second guess their research.

IMO, we won't go NT early. Parcells has a penchant for finding good nose tackles in the later rounds. I won't expect one to be taken until the 5th or later.

Re: AFC East pre-combine Moctacular

THANK YOU, hypo.

Although, depending on what we do in FA, I would not mind taking a guy like Cam Thomas in the 2nd or 3rd.

Then you will be shocked when they take one in the 2nd or 3rd.

But will you be shocked if they don't?

Those are his most productive NT's.. yes. And they were both found in the 7th.

Re: AFC East pre-combine Moctacular

Yes. And they were both found in the 7th. MOST of the time Parcells has drafted NT's from the 4th round on. It's a fairly convincing truth. Like I said earlier. If history is any indication. Then I won't expect a NT to be taken in the first couple rounds.

Though if we do NT early. I am thinking that SIP has to like Cam Thomas.
